Response of vegetation to drought time-scales across global land biomes

TL;DR: It is found that arid biomes respond to drought at short time-scales; that is, there is a rapid vegetation reaction as soon as water deficits below normal conditions occur, and that the response of vegetation to drought depends on characteristic drought time- scales for each biome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of Drought Indices for Ecological, Agricultural, and Hydrological Applications

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of different drought indices for monitoring drought impacts on several hydrological, agricultural, and ecological response variables was evaluated. And the authors found that the SPEI was the index that best captured the responses of the assessed variables to drought in summer, the seas...

Evidence of increasing drought severity caused by temperature rise in southern Europe

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high quality climate data from ground meteorological stations in the Iberian Peninsula (IP) and robust drought indices to confirm that drought severity has increased in the past five decades, as a consequence of greater atmospheric evaporative demand resulting from temperature rise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate Computation of a Streamflow Drought Index

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated an approach to calculate the standardized streamflow index (SSI), which allows accurate spatial and temporal comparison of the hydrological conditions of a stream or set of streams.

Effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on combined temperature and precipitation winter modes in the Mediterranean mountains: Observed relationships and projections for the 21st century

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on winter precipitation and temperature variability, and on the occurrence of four winter climate modes defined on the basis of combined precipitation/temperature quantiles was investigated.
